Kris Bour, LMT/PTA

, August, 2019

I have been an licensed massage therapist since 1997 and a PTA since 2016 with Assoicates in Appliied Science degrees for both. Much of my massage practice has served the Middle Tennessee Community over the past twenty years but my journey with manual therapy has led me to Cumberland County. Expanding my knowledge and application skills beyond basic massage applications has been a magical path that I continue to pursue with passion through an ongoing study of Fascial Counterstrain.

I began my Counterstrain/Fascial Counterstrain (CS/FCS) coursework in 2008 and it immediately revolutionized my Physical Therapy practice. Most patients experience significant relief in pain or improved function in one to four Counterstrain/FCS sessions. I have also had tremendous results with patients post COVID with return of taste and smell, and improved breathing in 1-3 sessions. Of course results will vary from person to person. I always honor my patient’s rights to wear a mask if they choose or if they choose to get experimental injections. I will never require either. Feel free to call or email me with any questions.
